...we stood in line to checkout. That's right. We spent 7 hours in one store. Not just any store, though - the new Ikea in Orlando! For those of you that know us, you know that we're Ikea fans. Needless to say, we were pretty excited when we found out that a store would be opening in our state.
It was quite the day. We started the day at 5:15am and headed out to go pick up our friend Josh. We were also supposed to meet some of our other friends there, but they arrived a little later than we did and the store was so packed that we never crossed paths. On the way down, I also got a surprise phone call from one of my best friends and former college roommates, LB. We hadn't seen each other in close to two years, so when she said she had found out we were coming to Orlando and wanted to meet us at Ikea, it was just icing on the cake!
On our way back, we topped the already wonderful day off by eating some great pizza at a place called Satchel's in Gainesville. Josh had raved about this place for sometime, so it was fun to get to try it out. I have to admit, that was probably some of the best deep dish pizza I've ever had. But, Chris would disagree with me. He didn't like it so much. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that.
So, this week we'll be spending our spare time trying to put all the stuff together that we bought at Ikea. We also need to get the Christmas tree, wrap presents, work on our Christmas cards, and finish putting the lights on the house. If anyone is bored, feel free to come help! :)

I can't believe you spent 7 hours at a furniture store! I can't think of any store that I really like, that I would be willing to spend that much time there. You must be huge Ikea fans.
And (hint hint) we love Satchel's! Next time you're driving through, give us a call and we'll meet you there. It'd be great to catch up with you all in person.
